The New Light Ch. 2

Why Can't We Be Friends?

Ayumee yawned as she sat up in her bed. She was wearing a red tank top and black shorts as her pyjamas, and her hair, as far as she could tell, was a bit messy. She rubbed her eyes to see where she was. It only took one look around to make her give a little yelp, then to fall off the bed with one loud thump. At that moment, a blonde haired boy with electric blue eyes rushed into her bedroom. He had a black tee-shirt on with matching black jeans and a white belt circling his hips. She guessed that this boy was one of her mentors. Now what was his name?

As soon as he saw her on the ground, he exclaimed, "Are you okay? Do you help, un?"

"Yes please." Ayumee said as she extended her arm to indicate that she needed help getting up.

The boy helped her onto her feet, made sure she was okay, and then smiled.

"I'm Deidara Iwa. You're Ayumee, right, un?"

Ayumee nodded slightly.

"Well, it's a good thing, you're awake!" Deidara grabbed Ayumee by the arm and led her down the hall, "You're cousin, Madara, is eager to meet you and-"

Ayumee ripped her arm away from Deidaras grasp as she heard the name of the cousin, whom she thought was deceased.

Deidara looked back at the smallest Uchiha and cocked and eyebrow.

"What's wrong? Was I hurting you with my grip, un?"

Ayumee heaved a sigh and put her back against the wall.

"I don't want to see him. I will never want to see him, actually." She whispered.

Her eyes trailed back up to the blonde-haired boy, whom of which was studying her posture and probably noting her behaviour for the leader.

After countless minutes of staring at each other, Deidara took a step closer to the girl and gently whispered in her ear, "I don't have time to play games girl. You are going out there and you are going to meet your cousin whether you like it or not, un."

Ayumee sneered at the blonde's change in character, then she smirked, "Yes father, or should I say in your case," Ayumee paused as her eyes pursued the blondes body, up and down, "mother?"

Deidara could feel his face getting red hot; he could tell any minute he was going to yell at the girl. So, all he did was point backwards to the direction she needed to go to and off Ayumee went.

Ayumee entered, in what seemed to be the kitchen. It was like a normal kitchen, but the whole room was painted in a dark crimson red with black clouds in random spots on the wall.

In the middle of the kitchen was a dining table with 6 seats situated around it and in two of those seats sat a red-head, who she guessed was Sasori Akasuna and a raven-haired man that looked to be in his early twenties. She knew him as Madara Uchiha.

Both of them were sipping on a cup of coffee and chatting about weather and how warm it was going to be this winter. As soon as Ayumee had entered the kitchen, both stopped talking and looked at her.

Sasori smiled, "Hello there," He pulled a seat out for her and patted it, "don't be shy, come and sit."

Ayumee obeyed Sasoris command and gingerly sat between them. She didn't look at either of them, but only glared ahead at Deidara (who had followed her into the kitchen and sat directly in front of her), as he glared at her.

Sasori chuckled, "Having a staring contest?"

Madara smiled, "Maybe they can't take their eyes off of each other because they're in love."

"Love at first sight?" Sasori laughed.

Both men roared with laughter. Only after sitting in complete silence for a couple of minutes did Sasori and Madara realized that Ayumee were glaring at each other with intense angry eyes. After they saw sparks pass between eyes, Sasori cleared his throat and Madara turned to Ayumee.

"So, kiddo, as you know, I`m Madara, your incredibly old cousin, who happens to have the complexion of a twenty year-old." He said while flipping his hair with his hand.

Sasori leaned down to Ayumee and smiled, "He always talks about himself and brags about how good he looks for an old fart."

Deidara sneered at Ayumee as he retorted, "I bet she`s the same as any other Uchiha. I bet she has a big ego, un."

And with that, Deidara got up and left leaving Ayumee glaring, Sasori banging his head on the table and Madara rolling his eyes.
